"Tree service company came today to start cutting down the townhouse trees. As of this afternoon, they had not yet gotten to the mulberry trees in front that are growing out of the steps and provide East 4th street residents with delicious berries in June."

Horrible. But not as bad as the Demon Pruner of 9th Street, this lunatic guy who lives next door to PS 122 above the florists and goes around hacking limbs off trees up and down the block, leaving notes like "Now this tree will flourish in the spring!" With WHAT, you wacko? You cut off all its limbs! He was almost caught by the cops one night, but they blew it and let him get away....he was quiet last year, so either he got a job with the Parks Dept or he's in a bin somewhere...
